What do latitude and longitude lines represent?
-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude. -- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
How many lines of longitude does one line of latitude intersect?
Every line of constant latitude intersects every possible longitude, and vice-versa.
Do any lines of longitude go through the equator?
Longitude lines appear "vertical" and latitude lines appear "horizontal." Every single line of longitude passes through the equator. If you meant to say latitude, then the answer is no. Not a single one (they run parallel).
The lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of what?
There are an infinite number of possible lines of latitude, and there are an infinite number of possible lines of longitude. Every possible latitude line intersects every possible longitude line, and every possible longitude line intersects every possible latitude line. Every one of the infinite number of points on Earth is the intersection of one of each, and there is no particular name for it.
Do Lines of Longitude run parallel to each other?
Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator while longitudinal lines (also called meridians) run north-south. The latitude angle ranges from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at either the north or south pole.
What do latitude and longitude lines represent?
-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude. -- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
How many lines of longitude does one line of latitude intersect?
Every line of constant latitude intersects every possible longitude, and vice-versa.
Which lines of longitude and latitude vary in length?
-- All meridians of longitude have the same length ... they all join the north and south poles. -- Each parallel of north latitude has the same length as the parallel at the equal south latitude, but no other one.
Has a parallel lines of latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longtitide are used to indicated the fixed location of a point or sphere in relation to two of that sphere's opposite poles and one line joining them. Here on Earth the two poles are the North Pole and the South Pole, and the line joining them is the one which runs through London, England. Latitide and longitude do not apply to a planet, as it orbits the Sun and is always moving.
Do any lines of longitude go through the equator?
Longitude lines appear "vertical" and latitude lines appear "horizontal." Every single line of longitude passes through the equator. If you meant to say latitude, then the answer is no. Not a single one (they run parallel).

Do Lines of Longitude run parallel to each other?
Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator while longitudinal lines (also called meridians) run north-south. The latitude angle ranges from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at either the north or south pole.
When using latitude and longitude to find places on earth what do you use as your starting point?
The equator is the zero reference line for latitude, and the Prime Meridian is the one for longitude.
What is it called when one line of latitude crosses one line of longitude?
There is no particular name for that event. It was decided long ago that since every parallel of latitude crosses each of the infinite number of meridians, and that every meridian of longitude crosses each of the infinite number of latitudes, it would be cruel to expect students, even gifted ones, to learn all of those names.
What are the longest latitude and longest longitude?
The longest parallel of latitude is the one defined as 'zero degrees', known as the "Equator". All meridians of longitude have the same length ... 1/2 of the earth's polar circumference.
What is the tropic of cancer parallel to?
The Tropic of Cancer is a parallel, because it is one of the earths parallel lines.
What are the lines of Latitude caled on the equator?
There is only one line of latitude on the equator, and the equator is it.
